Abstract: Applied Calculus draws a large number of non-STEM majors with widely varying mathematical backgrounds. To meet the needs of this large student population, we use a web-based education system to help students receive timely feedback and to provide additional opportunities to practice problems and increase student understanding. In our course, we utilize the homework feature and the quizzes/tests feature in the system to evaluate student learning. With over 1000 students enrolling in the course each year, it is essential for students and instructors to have access to multiple assessments with immediate feedback and a variety of data from the results. Data from the results of the assessments is used to inform curriculum changes and revision of instruction. We look at the use of this online assessment system and its role in giving timely feedback to students, increasing student understanding, and providing data to improve instruction at West Virginia University.
